Analogies of the crystal-image

From the way language works and as a learned instinct, we continually refer to a linear way of thinking and how we perceive the world around us. We are in a sense always trapped by a single, actualized second followed by another. (Time at its slowest!)
The time-image is non-linear as it relates to both the virtual and the actual. We spend too much time focusing on the present, as it entails only a fraction of the future and the past combined.

The present is at its most interesting when its potential to the future is in a flux, or just before the virtual has manifested itself in the actual.

In some respects, Synchronicity refers to why one potential of the virtual is actualized over another. The dynamic of time is not just an unfolding (linear), but an expansion as well.

What is expanding? I tried to explain this in my last class with Erin in a gift of writing to another student. And here in this class, we encounter the crystal-image and my immediate reaction to this is the model of a hologram, where every piece contains an image of the whole.

A space-structure that defies linear thinking, or that even undermines it, because the crystal-image (or the Hologram) contain both the virtual and the actual simutaneously.
This is where the fusion between the two takes place. Linear time as we know it is suspended (within the crystal-image or Hologram) and thus change can occur.

Physicist Michio Kaku (http://mkaku.org/) in his book Hyperspace, imagines how the 4th dimension would appear to us if we were thrust into it: All would appear as blobs of form/ light floating around us, perhaps passing through us, without definition. Our faculties are simply not designed to perceive in such a space. Kaku uses the analogy of pulling a carp from water, for a fish cannot perceive our three-dimensional world, and would probably see blobs of form/ light floating around it, perhaps appearing to pass through it, without definition.
